<p>I was accepted into Georgia Tech this year but it was too expensive for me to attend because i live out of state. As a result, I decided to attend Troy University (i have my orientation tomorrow) because it was affordable. I've come to realize that I made a huge mistake because I should have enrolled in Georgia Tech; It did not occur to me that i could live off campus with my aunt. Although I'm attending Troy, I'm planning on transferring to Georgia Tech after one year. So i just wanted to know if it will be easier for me to be accepted as a transfer student since i was already accepted as a freshman. I also wanted to know if there were any scholarship programs or co-ops (for transfer students) that would allow me to pay off college once I transferred to tech. Last but not least, I wanted to know if I should retake the ACT (even though I was accepted with a 28 last time..... Im a URM btw).</p>
<p>No factual information here but have you called the admissions office? Ask them and do ask them to out you back on the waiting list if possible. Can you defer and start in January? Can you live off campus and take their classes as a nonmatriculated student? </p>
<p>If you go to Troy get really good grades,.ok? Good Luck.
PS</p>
<p>Applying as transfer is a more competitive process from what I understand.
“Easy” it’s not, but the difficulty varies pretty much by “luck” or statistics on who is applying, how many, their grades/coursework. And obviously each term will have different statistics.</p>
<p>Right now out of state applicants and international students need higher GPAs in order to be in the same position and in-state applicants.</p>
<p>Finally, as long as you are a US citizen or US permanent resident, you are eligible to apply for need-based financial aid, and/or for scholarships.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I don’t believe they take into account the ACT for transfer, just your college grades. Also, it’s unlikely they would give you any sort of financial incentives like scholarships to attend. The co-op program is something you apply for once you’re already here.</p>
